C. You are the staff person who is delegated to greet children every morning and there is one little boy who is always very sad to say goodbye to his parent who is usually in a rush to get to work. You have learned that it is important for children to express their feelings. How would you handle this situation?
D. What are the benefits of open toileting (using the same bathrooms for both boys and girls)? What are some reasons why children may have toilet accidents and how would you manage this?
E. Identify some principles that are important to the success of the nap time routine.
